V

👁 55 views 💬 𝕏

The letter V in the Turkish alphabet is a consonant sound in the twenty-seventh place in order. While the pronunciation of this letter in Turkish is accepted as Ve, in some languages ​​such as German, it is pronounced close to the sound F. The interesting thing is that there is no letter equivalent for this sound in languages ​​such as Polish and Turkmen Turkish. In fact, there is no sign corresponding to the V sound in the Köktürk alphabet.

The difference between the letter V and the letter W is hidden in the position of the lips during pronunciation. While making the V sound, the lips touch each other slightly, creating vibration. However, in the W sound, the lips do not touch each other and are produced by rounding, just like the U sound. The letter Vav in Arabic (و) or the sound W in western languages ​​is a good example of this difference.

For example, the W sound in the word Yawaş, which means “slow” in Tatar, is an example of this. In Uyghur Turkish, a special letter with three dots, ۋ, is used to represent a sound similar to the V sound.
